The BEML Fastest and Easiest Way to Load a Magazine Fits All Calibers, Ease - Magazine Loader

works well

To start off, I'm 77 years old and these old hands don't work as good as they once did. This is my new favorite magazine loader! I have the "UpLULA" loader, and it is really good. I also have the "LUDEX" mag loader, and it is also a pretty good loader. I use the "SPEED BEEZ", an excellent loader, if they make one for your pistol magazine. This "Captain Jax" loading tool is my favorite of them all. This might not be for everyone, but for me it is like loading by hand using my thumbs, only with this tool helping out with the hard part. If you load magazines by hand, but want a tool to help the process, this is a good tool for that; plus, you can carry it with you in your pocket and you look like you know what you're doing when using it! I also sit down at a table/bench to load magazines no matter what other speed loader I'm using, except this "Captain Jax" loader. This one I can use standing up and don't need a table, that's a big advantage for me. Even though "The BEML" works really well, I thought it needed to have the pointed ends of the metal rods smoothed. I wrapped some 1,200 grit silicone carbide sandpaper around a pencil the same diameter as my pistol cartridge and stroked/polished the ends of the rods smother. That got rid of the friction of pushing the tool into and down on the last cartridge I had just loaded, making it easier to slide/insert the next cartridge. This review got longer than I had planned. Now go out there and have a great day people!

Works well saves your thumbs for sure but isn’t a fast loader for sure lol it is easy to use it works like it should fits well when loading and holding it but yeah it’s not a fast loader for sure lol it’s a single 1 bullet at a time but it’s worth it as when your loading 5-10 manga for the range jr saves your thumbs lol

I literally got this today and made it about ~20 rounds of .40 S&W into an aftermarket 31 rd. mag before one of the forks gave out on me. Now, admittedly the spring tension in this mag was UNGODLY and I was only able to load ~8 rounds by hand before even buying this so I can't fully place the blame on Cap'n Jax there. I will be buying another just to use with *normal* magazines.

This simple device is so awesome. Makes loading magazines (most calibers) super easy and fast. A must have for those that don't have a lot of muscular strength in their hands. It is well worth the money. In fact, I recommend you buy a few extras for friends and relatives.

Wasn't real impressed. The prongs are not very strong and bent the first time I loaded a magazine

I carry a Kahr 9mm pistol. If you own a Kahr you know the last round or two into the mag can be a bear. That was ok when I was younger, but I have a bit of arthritis in my thumbs now and that last round is painful to push in. I have other mag loaders. They work but are a bit more complicated and you need a flat surface to steady the mag while you use them. I have found the Captain Jax loader to be simpler and easier to use. It doesn't take up much room in my pocket, so can carry it onto the range when reloading mags between stages during qualifications. Less expensive than the alternatives too! I highly recommend it.

Not a speed loader but definitely helps if you've arthritic or carpal tunnel hands. There is a small learning curve but it doesn't take a genius to figure it out and get used to using it. It works for me from 7.62 Tok to .45 Auto and everything in between. It seem to be of durable construction so it should last for years if it doesn't get lost down in the range bag.
